Hasn't this always been available on PS4?

Only via cloud streaming since it was a PS3 title.

 

[RyanEvans21]

Hasn't this always been available on PS4?

Only on PS3. Xbox still the best version of the game (720p).

 

[Moonjt9]

Day 1.

Also, another example of wishful thinking dialed up to 11. Sometimes gamers need to chill.

Nah sometimes devs just need to do better.

Xbox BC version has god awful input latency issues due to some processing effects MS forces on BC games.

DF called it perfect emulation of the 360 version, no idea what latency you're talking about. I've played both RDR and Undead Nightmare on SX myself, they look and play great without a single drop from the 360 and with 16x AF.

 

[graywolf323]

so basically they took the Xbox BC version and ported it? but no PC?

 

[Roufianos]

Fucking cretins.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

But a remake in RDR2's graphics engine would have been preferable

That would've been a sure fire way to ruin RDR1.

An enhanced port is really the best case scenario for preserving the original game.

Get fucked rockstar

 

[Shake Your Rump]

This news legit made me chuckle. Full price for a port that isn’t even current-gen? How does this even get underway. Like, who is the mastermind that tricked some executives to green-light porting a PS3 game to PS4 in 2023. Is this sort of grift common in the industry?

 

[ReBurn]

Oh nice. I have the 360 version that I play on my current consoles, but it would be nice to be able to play on PlayStation as well.

Edit: Holy crap, I didn't see the price. Never mind. More than $20 for this is a crime.

 

[kiphalfton]

Logic would dictate that means they've put in no care into any of the other games they've worked on.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

This has to be bullshit. If there were “upgrades”, this would be released on Xbox as well.

Xbox BC version has god awful input latency issues due to some processing effects MS forces on BC games.

Honestly there is only one game I could feel the difference, and that is Radiant Silvergun.

But it wasn’t apparent all that well… I was used to the Saturn version which is 2 frames less than the BC version - meaning it is a godlike version.

At worse, the BC is 1 frame less responsive than the Xbox 360, so your statement is BS.

If you've played the game on PS3 a lot and then played it on XSX you'd notice the significant input latency.

Alex starts talking about it at 4:20 in this video.

 

[ComputerBlue]

So this isn’t even going to run 60 FPS on PS4?

 

[adamsapple]

If you've played the game on PS3 a lot and then played it on XSX you'd notice the significant input latency.

He's clearly talking about the improvement going from 30 FPS to 60 FPS via PC emulation. Going from 30 to 60 will improve response on any game.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

That would've been a sure fire way to ruin RDR1.

An enhanced port is really the best case scenario for preserving the original game.

The original game is already preserved via Xbox BC and emulation on PC. Half of the map was already remastered in RDR2. This really makes no sense, there’s no way of spinning it.

Alex Battaglia and 30FPS don’t jive along well.

LOL

more FPS means less Input Latency ? Mild Shock..

Stop listen this retard of PC Warriors...

 

[Elder Legend]

This has to be the worst and most pathetic announcement of the year.

 

[FearlessBelgian]

Rockstar is so trash wtf

 

[Hudo]

The more I think about the less sense this makes. Maybe it's a training exercise for a new dev team? That's the only reasonable explanation I can come up with.

 

[intbal]

After this releases at 30fps on PS4/Switch, Phil should reassemble the FPS Boost team and get the Xbox BC version running at 120fps.
Just for the fireworks.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Sounds like the PS4 and Xbox One versions of L.A Noire. Some texture improvements and it wasn't called a remaster.

Edit.

 

[Luipadre]

Still gonna sell a lot sadly. People are stupid and they wonder why publishers treat them like fools

There is no spinning necessary. It's an enhanced port. That's what I personally wanted so I am happy. I prefer RDR1 over RDR2 largely because of all of the changes made to the gameplay with RDR2.


I find all of the crying and moaning pretty funny.

 

[bender]

I wonder if they'll increase the price of the digital game on Xbox and call it a day. The only good news is a physical version for Switch but I'm expecting "requires download to play" and horrible performance.

 

[V1LÆM]

lol no thanks Rockstar.

You can keep the same gameplay with RDR2 graphics. There are competent devs who have done that with PS360 games already.

That would be dope. FPS boost for 1 and 2.

 

[EviLore]

Lame.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Switch version will probably be similar to L.A. Noire:

 

[Esppiral]

As soon as it became BC I bought both for 8 € and been able to play it on Xbox at 4k for ages lol at that 60€ for a rerelease

 

[Solidus_T]

They didn't even improve the framerate! No excuses. This isn't a small indie dev

 

[ReBurn]

It could be. I mean look who they gave the GTA definitive edition to.

 

[Larxia]

So no remake in RDR2 engine, even if we do have the map from RDR1 in RDR2

 

[cash_longfellow]

To be fair those games don't look that bad when outputted in a higher resolution but yeah the lack of effort and asking for full price is a joke.
Now if this was £20/25 I wouldn't mind.

Yep that’s what makes it laughable to me. The asking price and no effort.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Undead Nightmare is one of the best single-player DLC's I've ever enjoyed.

 

[VinnyMac]

Will it have online?

 

[rodrigolfp]

Is there a mod or something to let you use mouse and keyboard? Shooting with a controller has always been my issue.

Yes but no 1:1 mouse aim. Still better than the shitshow of controllers.

 

[StereoVsn]

I was thinking this will run out like the GTA port but was hoping against hope that they would remaster using RDR2 engine.

$50-60 for a straight up port of the game, sigh. I will stick to XSX and emulation on PC.

 

[Mr Moose]

Will it have online?

No.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Will it have online?

No but the Xbox backwards compatible version has.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Rockstar to PC gamers: Sail the high seas.

No problem.

 

[zeldaring]

Still gonna sell a lot sadly. People are stupid and they wonder why publishers treat them like fools

I doubt it. I think it's gonna bomb.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Well....Switch emulation is in a pretty great spot, and I know Xenia recently updated to give fantastic performance as well. Disappointed no native PC port though, would love to have native m+kb, but I'd bet there will be some sort of similar mod/user patch for the Switch emulation that enables it.

Either way, I'm glad the game isn't being left and forgotten about. Would have loved a proper remake, but I'm just glad it's still alive. I would love to get a full on Undead Nightmare style western game.

 

[Moses85]

After the GTA Trilogy the next bad joke from Suckstar

 

[Trunx81]

Rant what you want, but if it’s a decent port, I’ll double dip for the Switch version. Loved it on PS3 (it’s broken now) back in the days and having it portable is just the icing on the cake.

 

[ByWatterson]

LOL, Jesus Christ.

Less than the bare minimum.
